A Classic Tale of Wonder

Revisado: 11-02-18

I can honestly say I didn’t think stories like this were being written anymore - not since Susannah Clarke’s “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell” have I enjoyed a work of fantasy that was so learned and possessed not just of wonder and adventure but also of wisdom. Fans of Watership Down,Lord of the Rings, and Narnia will not be disappointed in this epic tale; but neither will readers looking for the moral insights of George Orwell or the satire of Jonathan Swift. Carrot Fields anthropomorphic animals will delight fans of Wind in the Willlows and Redwall, but at times this book has more in common with the cosmic dread of H P Lovecraft or the lysergic theophanies of Michael Moorcock. The author addresses important issues of faith and doubt without pandering or preaching either side of the spectrum of skepticism or belief, and fans of both Phillip Pullman and C S Lewis will find food for thought. The icing on the cake is the extraordinary reading - seldom have I encountered book and narrator more ideally matched. Highly recommended!
